Werner Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder characterized by premature aging. It is caused by mutations in the WRN gene, which plays a crucial role in DNA repair and maintenance. Individuals with this condition typically begin to show signs of aging in their teenage years, including graying hair, skin changes, and a higher risk of age-related diseases. People with Werner Syndrome often experience various health issues, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and certain types of cancer. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner, meaning that both parents must carry the mutated gene for a child to be affected.
